While professional race-baiter Al “Somewhere Inside Me There’s a Little Boy (Because I Ate Him)” Sharpton goes for the jugular — and the contents of your House — and the owner of “Los Suns” introduces Spanglish to the NBA in protest of Arizona’s immigration law, back in the rest of real America, racism is as strong as ever:
An Ann Arbor elementary school principal used a letter home to parents tonight to defend a field trip for black students as part of his school’s efforts to close the achievement gap between white and black students.
Dicken Elementary School Principal Mike Madison wrote the letter to parents following several days of controversy at the school after a field trip last week in which black students got to hear a rocket scientist.
Yes. You read that correctly. White students weren’t even allowed to enter by the back door, let alone attend a whites-only version of the event. They were told to stay home. As Joe Biden would say, if he weren’t trying so badly to fit in, this is a big f***in’ deal.
Not settling with telling all non-black students to but out, Madison intimidated the white students who felt, and in fact were, slighted because of the color of their skin:
District spokeswoman Liz Margolis said after the trip was over, those who went returned to their fifth-grade class and were greeted by boos by those who didn’t go on the trip. Margolis said Madison, who is black, heard the boos, and went to talk to the class. She said he and the class had a “discussion” about race issues.
“He wasn’t yelling at them. He was very passionate about it,” Margolis said.
He even got away with being “anti-Muslim” (surely the ghost of a teabagger must have possessed Madison at the time):
Parents have complained he was yelling at the class and belittled a Muslim girl who said she also had experienced racism and discrimination.
If Madison were white and kept black students from attending an event, every member of the driveby media would be screaming for his resignation from the top of Mount Rushmore. You’d have the pResident of these United (in name only) States hastily calling a press conference to denounce Madison for acting stupidly. In the very least, you’d have the Detroit Tigers changing their name to the Detroit Blacks, in support of black students, for their home games this week.
Instead, we now live in a country where it’s justifiable to reverse discriminate in order to achieve Sharpton’s moronic vision of the future: We won’t have true social justice until everything is “equal in everybody’s house” — except his.
Instead, we’re left to point out the folly of the left through parody and snark, and even that practice is becoming segregated from what used to be a wide-open innerwebz faster than you can count the number of luxury homes Al Gore owns.
Instead, I’m left to admit that, for the first time in my adult life, I’m not proud of (many of the hypocritical people who live in) my country. Actually, to tell you the truth, I haven’t been proud of them since long before Nov. 4, 2008.

I believe that future generations should have the same opportunities that myself, and those that came before me, had. My parents taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do. I don’t want to have to tell my daughter, “You can do whatever the government tells you to do.” We are at a crossroads in this country; are we going to be free, or are we going to be slaves to the nanny state. I choose freedom.
It’s a well-known liberal principle that minorities are stoooooopid. Hence we must be compassionate because hey, they can’t help low test scores.
Yer a RAAAAACIISSST, too. ^)
It is amazing what a person can get away with as long as he is the right color. This would be splashed all over the evening news if it were a “whites only” event. Can you imagine the uproar? Maybe the best was to teach about race relations would be to treat everyone the same, I know that sounds radical, huh? How is separating classmates based on color supposed to help anything?
It helps the left further denigrate the white man.
I’m so glad Obama has healed the racial divide! On a positive note, it’s been two weeks since a anyone said I was a racist.
RAAAAACIST….
Yer two weeks are up. :^)
This is the kind of crap that continues to drive a wedge and split this country. Maybe that’s the plan, keep us fighting with each other so they can get away with what ever they want, because when we’re ripping each other apart, who’s watching the hen house…the fox?
Great post Snarky!
Thanks, John. Don’t you just love the left’s hypoCRAZY?
Obama…do a press conference? Are you MAD sir? The TOTUS cannot do live action, and he’d give a 16 minute answer to any question.
In the New America you can only be a racist if you are White. Get used to it.
Thanks for the disturbing coverage.

This is a terrible crime, Snarky. I thing all the bloggers talking about it
did some good, because they have “disbanded” the club. It will probably come back
with a new name, like ACORN likes to do.
